And I agree.  But I also think the military would have no other option.  Trump simply cannot be trusted in matters pertaining to our protection against enemies from abroad; and if the Pentagon and the IC can't see WHY he can't be trusted at this point, it's because they don't want to see it.

 

I'm starting to wonder whether McCain's actions have been some calculated form of payback for the comments Trump made about him during the campaign.

 

Trust me, it comes from years of practice.

The IC declared war on Donnie when he stood up at the CIA memorial wall cracking jokes about his inauguration while his paid sycophants laughed in the background. The FBI started coming for him the day he fired Comey. I'm guessing his little stunt with tweeting military policy was the last straw for the armed forces.

Yep.  I shouldn't give that man credit for being savvy, but I feel like Trump looked at his options and felt he had no choice BUT to sign, lest he wanted to add fuel to the "Trump is Putin's bitch" fire.  Of course, unless he's worked out something privately with them, the Russians will end up putting him on THEIR (s)hit list as well.

 

Boy, I hope Trump is really regretting running for president.

 

 

IA.  On the one hand, we all know how the military REALLY feels about gays and transgendered people.  ("Don't ask, don't tell," anyone?)  But, OTOH, a soldier IS a soldier, and I think even your most hard-core, right-wing, conservative war hawk can't help but appreciate, however begrudgingly, anyone who risks life and limb in the name of protecting our country.

 

 

And now I hear Trump is coming for Murkowski, who's chairperson of the Senate committee that could determine, among other things, whether his candidates for the Department of the Interior are approved, and whether his precious policy rollbacks for the energy industry will see the metaphorical light of day.  And all because she thought her constituents in Alaska deserved a better deal than Ahab's "skinny repeal."  Yeah, Donny, that's gonna work out REAL well fer ya.

How can anyone feel secure with such a man as Trump at the helm?? He's actually terrorizing people over healthcare. You know what that makes him?

Which is probably why Sally Yates feels that the Judiciary needs protection...from Trump.

NY and 16 other states filed against this a few months back. I imagine if they attempt to proceed, the case will be bumped up.

 

Oh and for THOSE WHO HAVE NO CLUE OR DON"T READ, congress already receives insurance through Obamacare. THat was a mandate when the ACA was passed. Oh and for something so bad, they kept themselves exempt from any new healthcare bill proposed and decided to keep Obamacare for themselves. The elites and takers in this country are sitting in the Capital and The White House, not in communities

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
